wednesday

I survived (clap your hands!)

I had an "icky" feeling afternoon and evening yesterday (after treatment #2). Mostly nausea I guess. I took Zofran for that, drank some Sprite and munched on saltines; that helped. Beth had fixed a meatloaf that another friend sent with her, but the scent of it was enough to turn my stomach. The crackers and Sprite helped enough that I was able to enjoy a brownie before bedtime :)

I took an Advil PM, as my oncologist said anything over the counter would be ok. It was partly to ward off that headache I had last time and partially to help me sleep well. It worked. I did. And awoke feeling fine! I'm nervous in saying that, as it's not quite 11 a.m. now, but so far so good. Had a slice of toast, some applesauce and Cream of Wheat throughout the morning. Keeping it bland and light grazing seems to help.

Going for my Neulasta shot this afternoon, then home to rest.
